Such strong winds as those which
struck us yesterday generally leave ' a
fatal track behind. Surrounding cities
suffered much damage vn account of the
winds, but nothing so serious has reached
otr ears telling us that Plattsmouth haa
been unfortunate. The wind was strong
enough to blow an old maid's false teeth
loose, but unless the ancient maidens
have fallen victims to such a misfortune,
we believe nothing serious happened to
oar peaceful citizen.
In a few days the numerous idiots
of the country will tak& advantage of
the custom of the season to send violent
ly "glj chromos to their" acquaintance?,
and call them "valentines." People don't
eml these wretched pictures so much as
they did a few years ago, but there is no
reason why anybody should be guilty of
a delilerate attempt to hurt the feelings
of others by ' mailing the cartoons to;
them. There is neither fun nor carcasm
about it. Only an evidence of brutal
stupidity. State Journal.
A BEAUTY OF THE WEST.
Santa vlara Valley Freely Written
About By a Plattsmouth : .
Visitor.
$ San Josk, '.QaH Jan. 24 1 89. '
Ed. Hokalp: Dear Sir: Noticing
that most people , who come west '' write a
few lines 'to your paper, I thought I
would try' my hand in the same direction.
I am situated in San Jose, California,
about fifty miles south of San Francisco.
It is truly the Garden of Eden. Santa
Clara county has an area of 1,000,000
acres, of which, approximately, one-third
is valley land, one-third cultivated foot
hill, and one-third mountains. The
county is bounded on the north by San
Franciaco bay, on east by , Mt. Hamilton
range of mountains' whose highest point
(the site of Lick Observatory) has an al
titude of 4,400 feet; on the west asd
south-west by the Santa Cruz mountains
averaging from 1,500 to 3,000 feet in
height, and on the south by the Pajara
river. At the southern extremity of the
bay of San Francisco the valley istwenty
miles across. It gradually grows until at
the extreme southern end, a distanoe of
fifty miles, the eastern and western range
of mountains converge.
Every kind of fruit you can think of
grows in abundance in the valley the year
round. . Santa Clara county has a popu
lation of 50,000. San Jose, the county
seat, with a population of about 25,000,
is situated about the center of this valley
and is known far and wide as the Qarden
city. It is indeed a city of gardens,
smiling amidst perennial bloom. ; It is
on the lines of three different railroads
and twenty-two trains run daily to and
from San Francisco. It is'about twenty
miles to the coast. It is lighted by elec
tricity, by means of masts, cranes and an
electric tower which is 200 fret high and
crowned with a light of 24,000 candle
power. It has an electric railway, under
ground system, running from the eastern
limits of the city" to the town of Sanca
Clara, three miles distant. The city has
five banks, seventeen chuches, six splen
did school bulidings, and a contract has
just been let for the erection of another
public school building at a cost' of $15,
000. The State Normal School, with
costly buildings, beautiful grounds, and
an average attendance- of 500 pupils is
located here. Ifcre, too, are the College
of Norte Dame, St. Joseph schools, and
the University of the Pacific. Hotel Ven
dome, which will be opened next month,
is second in beauty, size and grounds,
only to the. noted Del,Monte. A costly
city hall is almost completed. The hand
some buildings of the Infirmary are locat
ed near this city.
Tie city reservation, seven miles east
ward, comprising 400 acres and having
public mineral water bathes, is connected
with the city by one of the finest avenues
in the state. Near by onthc summit of
Mt. Hamilton, is the crowning glory of
the country and of the world the Lick
Observatory whose dome may be seen
with. fe unaided eye from a distance of
fifty miles. This observatory was built
and equipped at an expense of $700,000,
Its telescope, 30 inches in diameter, is
the largest in the world. It is the legacy
bequeathed to the state by James Lick,
an old pioneer, and already it has
achieved much in tbe way. of astronoml
cal discovery. The road to tbe summit
was built by the county at an expense of
$80,000, and no where is there a mount
ain driveway wider, smoother, of easier
grade, or affording a more picturesque
view. The temperature has averaged
about 50 in the shade since I came here,
At present writing it is up to 70 that is
not bad for January weather. Well, I
must close or I will tire some of the
readers of your paper. Some will be
saying "rats!" As I look for the col
side of the house and think of my many
friends hugging the base burners, I shut
my eyes and say amen.

Joe will surprise you on his grand
opening of spring aud summer goods.
Nothing in his line that Joe won't be
nble to show you goods that his com
peditors won't dare offer to the public.
Joe's low prices will make his competi
tors wonder how he can sell so low.
An originator and the authority on
slang phrases in this city, has brought
another one into existence which "knocks
tho eye out of many of the others," as it
can be used to good advantange in many
instances. When he tells a story he
wishes kept "under the hat," he "works
in the phrase" in "great shape." Where
he works it to the best advantage is when
buying a loaa cigar or a lone drink as tbe
boys say. and a number of his friends are
at arm's length away when he could not
otherwise avoid treating them. One of
his most intimate friends was sitting in
a cigar store a few days ago when the
slang songster walked in and purchased
a "lone cigar.?! j. He turned to his friend
and with a broad grin remarked "you're
supposed to be dead. That man should
"jar loose."

houses in Illinois and Missouri, which
enables him to buy cheaper than any of
his competitors. 5-lw
